Ryan McNutt was appointed and signed a three-year contract at a special selectmen's meeting on Friday. Chairman Jean Syria and Vice Chairman Susan Smiley voted approval; Selectman Stanley Starr was not present.

McNutt starts his tenure as town administrator on Monday, Aug. 18. McNutt lives in Fitchburg, where he held his last job as director of housing for the city.

On his second day of work, the board will hold a regularly scheduled meeting which features an update about the recent train derailment and the police chase of a car on Route 117. Syria said that the board will entertain questions about those incidents from the public and encouraged residents to write to either the fire chief and/or police chief with copies of those questions directed to the board.
